WSOP Updates

I'm currently 0/7 in tournaments so far.
I've played
$1k NLHE
$1.5 Limit O8
$2.5k 2-7 Triple draw
$1.5k NLHE
$1k NLHE
$1.5k NLHE 6 handed
$5k NLHE

I've been running pretty bad in the tournaments. In the $5k I got 3 outted twice to go out.
I raised TT to 375 on the button, and the SB calls and Annette Oberstad calls in the BB.
The flop is Qs Qc 6d. They both check, and I bet 700. Annette calls. 5d hits the turn. She check calls 1250. The river is an Ace. She checks and I valuebet 2600. She calls with A4o. Sucks she got there, but I think I made a good valuebet on the river. Later Annette and I talked for a bit and she thinks I made a thin but good valuebet.

Then I got moved to table 1 where this happened within 4 hands.
First hand, I fold
Second hand, I decide to fold J8o in HJ.
CO opens to 525, Havad Kahn 3bets the button to 1375, Noah Boeken cold 4bets the SB to 4100, and the BB tank 5 bet jams for 18k. Everyone tank folds to the shove.
Sick table I'm at.

Hand 3 I fold.
Hand 4, UTG raises to 550, I get AK in MP and 3bet to 1350. He shoves and puts me in, I snap call. He has AJo. Jack high flop and the tournament is over.


I also had a rough cash game session last night where I lost about $2k. Almost all of it was to John Hanson, who just ran super hot against me. John's a friend of mine from Hustler casino, but doesn't play Omaha hi/lo very well. Oh well it happens. I'm still around 8k in that 5/10 omaha game.

Taking today off. $1.5k PLO tomorrow, then another day off. Next weekend, I'm going to head back home for a few days then come back, unless I go deep into a tourney on Thursday.

I'll see you across the felt.

I ended up bubbling the $1500 O8 event. I placed 97th. 81 spots paid. That sucked. I also lost my last longer bet with Jeff Madsen. Apparently I also bubbled the $1k buyin, cause after day 1 only 40 people needed to bust in order to cash.
Since then I busted the $2500, 2-7 Triple draw event, and the 1500 NLHE. I've also won about 2500 in cash games, so at least it's not going all downhill.

I got more coming up, but I might take a break for a few days and celebrate a friends birthday. Might not too. Sucks be a degen sometimes.

I'll see you across the felt.
